Oca

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 8 mos
Schenectady, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

Story
This handsome young GSD mix named Benny narrowly escaped euthanasia at an overcrowded shelter. He was brought in after he suffered a foot injury (possibly hit by a bike or car). He ended up with a bone infection in his foot which has now been treated by the vet and is healing nicely. He should be out of the cast in about 2 weeks and he's feeling great. Benny is a happy dog, is very playful and good with people. We have not been able to test him with kids or other dogs or cats due to the injury. He is in a very temporary foster home and we need to find him a forever home quickly. He is 2 years old and 63 lbs. Fully vaccinated and will be neutered prior to adoption. Benny deserves a better life than living on the streets. If you can help by fostering or adopting, please reach out to Julie asap on 919 624 0059.

Story
Meet Lacy! She is a gorgeous 3 year old German Shephard mix that is down on her luck. Recently Lacy found herself in a crowded high kill shelter after being shot in the leg. A good samaritan called animal control who took her to the shelter and the person who reported it agreed to foster Lacy while she recovered. Our rescue stepped in to get her vetted and she is now healed from the leg injury and she is spayed, vaccinated, and micro chipped. Lacy did test positive for heartworms which is very treatable and the rescue will assist with this also. We are seeking a new home for Lacy asap as she cannot stay with the current foster very long. We have not been able to adequately test her with other dogs or children, so at this point we are looking to place her in a home as an only dog and with no small children until we learn more about her. If you can foster or adopt, please reach out o Julie on 919 624 0059. Lacy needs someone to step up for her.

Story
This precious girl Oakley found herself at an overcrowded shelter in the south and urgently needs a family to take her in. She had apparently been hit by a car prior to being taken to the shelter and her front leg was broken. Our rescue took her to a vet to evaluate her leg and they indicated her leg bone was already healing so they recommended a cast for about 4 more weeks. Oakley is just over a year old, is very happy and adores people. She weighs approximately 50 lbs and is fully vaccinated. Oakley is able to walk around just fine and she can go on short walks until her cast is removed. We recommend a family that can be home alot with Oakley as she really likes being with her people and doesn't love being alone for long periods of time. If interested in this precious girl, please text Julie on 919 624 0059.

🚨 URGENT – LEO WILL BE KILLED IF NOT SAVED 🚨 Leo came into the shelter as a stray, and he is absolutely terrified. The shelter environment is overwhelming for him, and fear has shut him down. He hides in the corner of his kennel, trembling, trying to disappear. At intake, he was so scared that staff could not safely vaccinate him due to fear-based nipping — this is not aggression, this is pure panic. With patience and kindness, Leo showed who he truly is. Once given time, he allowed himself to be gently carried so his photo could be taken. Beneath the fear is a sweet, sensitive soul who just needs someone to go slow and show him he’s safe. 🐾 Dog-friendly 🐾 Sweet but terrified 🐾 Shut down in the shelter 🐾 Needs a calm, patient home or rescue Leo is NOT doing well in the shelter, and that is why his life is in immediate danger. Dogs like Leo don’t survive loud, stressful kennels — they need compassion, not a death sentence. 🙏 Leo desperately needs NOW.TO SAVE HIS LIFE‼️ Someone willing to give him time, space, and understanding will save his life and watch him blossom. ⏰ TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Please help save him. Fear should never be a death sentence. TEXT KAREN 4136298152
